Dennis Wilson 3 Report post Posted February 26, 2019 Hello, Wondering where most people got their second hand 86 or BRZ from? Currently on the look out and there doesn't seem to be many private sellers ( I'm UK Derbyshire based) within a 50-60 mile radius. There is quite a few being sold at dealerships like Arnold Clarke etc... which I'm not against buying from, just thought I'd see what you guys did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dennis Wilson 3 Report post Posted February 27, 2019 Thanks everyone. Sounds like buying from Toyota isn't a bad bet. Do you get a 1 year free warranty if you buy directly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nerdstrike 186 Report post Posted February 27, 2019 Toyota's website say they do offer a year on approved used sales. At the minimum you'll have your statutory rights on fitness for purpose, any residual warranty on the vehicle itself up to 5 years, and they'll probably try to sell you a warranty extension.

KAS 25 Report post Posted February 27, 2019 I think its only the cars that are marked "Toyota Plus Approved" that come with a 12 month warranty. I think all GT86s had a 5 year warranty from new, but I'm not so sure about the earlier BRZs. Make sure there's a full service history with the car. Back when I was looking for a used 86, Evans Halshaw and some smaller dealers would have them with missing history - which would void the 5 year warranty. They were cheaper tho. But in the 14 months I've had mine, I've had about 5 warranty issues sorted by RRG Toyota Macclesfield, and I think the previous owner had a couple issues sorted too! There were very few private sellers, I think due to the value of the cars most people probably prefer to trade them in. The sale sections on the forums, pistonheads, ebay etc are your best bet for private sales. I bought mine from Toyota in Edinburgh, it was slightly modded, which I reckon is why they hadn't been able to sell it for 3 months until I came along lol Good luck!

James18 50 Report post Posted February 27, 2019 If buying from Toyota, they also offer a two year extended warranty on used which I got. You might be able to haggle a warranty into the sale price if you're lucky! 😀 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matrixprotein 33 Report post Posted February 27, 2019 Normally on a GT86 if it's outside the 5 year warranty, they you give you 12 months at the Toyota dealership. If it's still within the 5 year warranty they won't extend it for you unless there's less than 12 months remaining at which they will give you 12 months.At least this is my experienceSent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaltorak 111 Report post Posted February 27, 2019 Toyota dealership over in Yeovil. Which was just over 100 miles away for me. If I was less picky on mileage I could have got one closer, but I'm near London. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've seen one fella with a facelifted version who I think is local and one other with a 12 reg but that was only once thigh I hear he's local too. But these cars are rarely seen round here.Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McDude 40 Report post Posted February 28, 2019 I got mine from a BMW dealership - they'd got it in as a trade in and had priced it too cheaply. They put it on Autotrader at 10pm and I called them they minute they opened the next day. I didn't even haggle, it really was too cheap and I didn't want to miss out. The dealer reckoned he'd never had so many calls about one car. 18 months on and it still looks a bargain against other BRZs. 1 Angelina reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
